having a questionable sleeping schedule gives you questionable timing for feeling sleepy
But if you got 20+ minutes and a surface to lay then be brave and take that nap.

All naps are not made equal. The Friday afternoon nap is the most powerful nap ever invented and should be mandatory for everyone.
There’s like a 75% chance you wake up and have no idea who or where you are, but I promise it’s the lil boost you need to head into a lovely weekend. 20 mins minimum. Bonus points if you’re still on the clock.

somewhere along the line past being a toddler, it was decided for us that we no longer needed a nap to get through the day. I’m not sure who is responsible for this injustice, but i have even reclaiming this stolen time for years.
some people like power naps. this could be 30 minutes of no screens, just chilling with your eyes closed. falling asleep is not necessary. napping is a state of mind. I am a fan of the 2-3 hour range, where I start off with an ASMR video and drift off. I then wake up feeling solidly refreshed, but not disoriented. Bonus points for having a big swig of cold water when I wake up.
when I go past 3 hours, I risk waking up sweaty and wondering what decade I’m in. but you do you. I’m also a big fan of the couch nap, because I am lucky to have an old and well-cared for couch that has just enough softness while also supporting my back. I also enjoy sleeping on top of my covers on my bed with my favorite blanket. naps! long may they rule!

My fool-proof technique for squeezing in a little midday shut-eye.
Requires just three simple steps:
1) Drink a cup of coffee
2) Set a timer for 20 minutes
3) Snooze (ideally on the couch with a beloved pet)
It works because, on average, it takes about 20 minutes for your sleep cycle to initiate, and 20 minutes for caffeine to hit your system. By pairing them together, you can snooze without disrupting your circadian rhythm. No grogginess.

i think everybody hates small talk, but everybody is also very different from each other, I guess it’s a matter of being understanding with the person or people you’re talking to at the moment. But I do think that personal questions and talking about real life experiences is what gets conversations going, it’s also what makes you remember people and want to reconnect with them. when talking to somebody new there’s nothing better to a first impression than someone who engages and listens. We get what we give so might as well give as much as we can.
